The goal is not to equalize pain, but to expose patterns of exclusion and persecution.

The efforts at Westerbork extend far beyond the museum walls.

In April 2025, the Memorial Centre led an online campaign for International Roma Day, in partnership with more than 20 institutions in the Netherlands and abroad – including the Anne Frank Foundation, the National Holocaust Museum, and the National Committee for 4 and 5 May.

Using the shared hashtag #Romaday, the campaign highlighted Roma life before, during, and after the war.

Today, May 16th, we commemorate the Roma resistance against the Nazis in what is now remembered as the International Roma Resistance Day.

Via Roma Antidiscrimination Network & Roma Center e.V. : "From the very beginning of World War II, Roma and Sinti fought against the deprivation of their rights and their racial classification. They protested against discriminatory regulations and attempted to secure the release of deported family members through petitions or personal intervention. They worked closely with resistance groups in the occupied territories. They played an important role in the national liberation movements, particularly in Eastern and Southeastern Europe. A large number of Roma and Sinti lost their lives in the armed struggle against National Socialism. Roma and Sinti also engaged in various forms of resistance in the concentration camps. A high point was the uprising in Section BIIe of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the "Z-Camp.
On May 16, 1944, approximately 6,000 people—men, women, the elderly, and children—barricaded themselves in the barracks of the "Z-Familienlager." They had been informed by the resistance network within the camp that the camp was to be "liquidated" at night. Therefore, they decided to fight back. They confronted the SS with tools, stones, and, above all, with courage and determination when they came to take them to the gas chambers.

Structural and legal discrimination against Roma is not a thing of the past. Even today, Roma around the world are still fighting for equal rights. More and more ethno-nationalists are using Roma as scapegoats for economic decline and all kinds of misfortune. Inspired by these people's resistance, we continue to fight. Today and tomorrow."

Ich bin sehr gespannt.

Cada vez que me enfado con el Consejo de Europa, tanto por razones históricas como (sobre todo) onomásticas, recuerdo que es la organización internacional más visiblemente activa en la lucha por los derechos y la inclusión de los gitanos y se me pasa rápido. En abril, coordinan el mes #OpreRoma!, he aquí un calendario de eventos que celebran la cultura gitana en toda #Europa. https://www.coe.int/fr/web/roma-and-travellers/2025-calendar-of-activities

*Pero deberíamos cambiar los nombres de los 2 Consejos de la UE, nos sobran Consejos
